# Turn on colleague search

> Turn on the Search for colleague feature in the PADS4 Workspace privacy settings, so that users can see where their colleagues are scheduled to work.

Colleague search lets users see where their colleagues are scheduled to work. The feature is off until you turn it on in the privacy settings of PADS4 Workspace.

## Before you begin

Colleague search shows reservations of users to other users. Check that this fits the privacy rules of your organization before you turn it on.

## Turn on colleague search

**1. Open the application settings**

In the admin interface, open the Workspace application settings.

**2. Open the privacy settings**

Go to the privacy settings. These settings apply to all bookings in PADS4 Workspace.

**3. Turn on the feature**

Turn on **Search for colleague**.

**4. Save the settings**

Save your changes.

The same privacy settings control whether the name of the organizer is visible for bookings.

## Verify the setting

Ask a user to check that **Search for Colleagues** is in the main menu of PADS4 Workspace. See [Search for colleagues](https://docs.pads4.com/modules/workspace/search-for-colleagues.md).
